Deviled Ham Cheese Ball

Several years back this was my go to cheese ball for holiday parties and neighbor gift giving. I grew tired of the same old thing and tried new things over the years. This year I decided that it was time to go back to the favorite one! BUT…..I could not find my stinking recipe!

Can you relate? I searched the Internet until I found one that sounded just like our favorite. It tastes just like it! Score!!! I made a double batch of these today. Each batch easily divides into 2 balls. I have 3 to give to neighbors with crackers and wine for Christmas and 1 to keep for our holiday dinner.

It is not to late to whip one of these up! I am sure most if not all of the ingredients you may already have on hand. I have frozen in the past as well!

Ingredients:

2 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened

1/2 lb. shredded sharp cheddar cheese

2 teaspoons grated onion

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon season salt

1/4 teaspoon salt

2.25 ounce can of deviled ham

2 teaspoons parsley, chopped

2 teaspoons pimientos, chopped

2/3 cup finely chopped pecans

Directions:

Combine all ingredients except pecans

Form into 2 balls.

Roll balls in pecans until covered.

Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 3 hours.

Serve with crackers.

I combine the ingredients in my food processor except the pecans. Makes the job much faster. I make 1 batch at a time.

This makes an excellent gift for gift giving! I deliver it on a pretty holiday tray with with a couple of sleeves of crackers and a bottle of wine.
